Independent Romanian community centre · Colindale, London
Help understanding CSCS cards and the CITB HS&E test
We are an independent Romanian community centre in Colindale. We explain, in Romanian or English, which CSCS card fits your job, which courses and qualifications count, and how to prepare for and book the CITB HS&E test. You apply for your card in your own name, directly with CSCS, and we talk you through the steps.
